Numbers 24:12-18

¹²But Bileam said to Balak, Did I not also tell the messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying,

¹³If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I have no power to transgress the decree of the Word of the Lord, to do good or evil of my own will; whatsoever the Lord shall sat that will I speak?

¹⁴And now, behold, I go unto my people. Come, I will give thee counsel what thou shouldst do; and will show thee what this people will do unto thy people at the end of the days.

¹⁵And he took up his parable, and said: Bileam, the son of Beor, speaketh, The man who saw the Beautiful speaketh,

¹⁶He speaks who heard the Word from before God, And who knoweth knowledge from the Most High, Who saw the vision of the Almighty, prostrate when he saw.

¹⁷I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh. When a king shall arise out of Jakob, And the Meshiha be anointed from Israel, He will slay the princes of Moab, and reign over all the children of men;

¹⁸And Edom shall be an inheritance, And Seir a possession of his adversaries; But Israel shall prosper in riches.
